Wise orders moratorium Agriculture Minister John Wise has declared an immediate moratorium on Farm Credit Corporation (FCC) foreclosure actions. "I want to make sure that no farmer will be forced off the farm while I am reviewing the role and mandate of FCC, the Bruce -Grey Debt Review Board pilot project report and reports from FCC Appeal Board Chairmen. "I want to make sure that those in- dividuals who might be assisted by new initiatives will have that oppor- tunity," explained Wise. As of today, there are approximate- ly 670 FCC foreclosure cases in pro- gress which will be put on hold. Over the past six months FCC has initiated an average of 14 foreclosure actions a week. Recovery actions will con- tinue in cases where the farm has been abandoned, where bankruptcy has been declared, where there has been a voluntary transfer of title or quit claim or where recovery action is initiated by another creditor forc- ing FCC to protect its security.
